SIDE BEND TEST

SIDE BEND TEST

Object: To determine the soundness of the weld metal and HAZ in a cross section. This may be preferred to the transverse bend test on thick materials. It is also used on processes or procedures expecting lack of fusion (e.g. thick plate using MIG).

Method: The testing method is the same as that used for transverse bends except the cap and root are not ground flush, to allow testing across the complete weld.

Report Results:
  1. Width and thickness of specimen. 
  2. Angle of bend.
  3. Diameter of former.
  4. Appearance of joint after bending e.g. type and location of flaws.

Part -8 Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions

Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions  ·          What happens if gasoline is used in a Diesel engine?Diesel engine will work ? No, It will not work,as the Compression ratio of Petrol engine is 6 to 10 & that of Diesel engine is 15 to 22 . Thus on such high compression, gasoline gets highly compressed & it may blast. ·          Which Mechanism is used in Automobile gearing system Differential mechanism ·           Why different types of sound are produced in different bikes though they say run on SI engine Engine specifications are different in different manufactures like as Bore Diameter(CC), Ignition timing.Also the exhaust passage take more responsible for sound. ·           Why entropy decreases with the increase in temperature? ds=dQ/T Entropy is inversely proportional to the temperatu...

Part - 6 Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions with answer

Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions  1.           Why Entropy decreases with increase in temperature? Ans.      ds=dQ/T Entropy is inversely proportional to the temperature so, as temp. Increases, entropy decreases. 2.            Why different types of sound are produced in different bikes, though they run on SI Engines? Ans.        Engine specifications are different in different manufactures like as Bore Diameter (CC), Ignition timing. Also the exhaust passage takes more responsible for sound. 3.            How much Watt means 1Hp? Ans.       746.2 Watt 4.            Explain Bicycle Rear Wheel Sprocket working? Ans.       Rear wheel sprocket works u...
